Regarding your carrots……. we picked some carrots that were a little on the small side. These go limp quickly. However, if you put them in the crisper of your refrigerator or soak them in cold water they should firm up quickly. Also, limp carrots taste just as good as firm carrots. Also, if you just cannot stomach a limp carrot then cook with it. Also, you should trim the leaves (technical term for it is the “brush”) off before you store it.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I found a caterpillar (corn earworm?) in the tip of two ears of corn. If i cut off the top half, is the rest safe to eat? Thanks,
